Yes, but never in a sub 2,100lb, 90 inch (IE: very short wheelbase) vehicle such as the Cobra....My advice is to start off with a lesser powered engine, get used to the car, the quirks of what it is and how it handles, then add a higher horsepower engine if you like. In these cars, you can only put so much useable HP to the street, after that the laws of physics take effect and the rest becomes useless for the street.
